Well, I got tired of playing phone-tag with Palm Beach Motorcars - the service rep for Lotus NEVER answers his phone, which forces me to leave a voicemail or hang up. I don't have that kind of time during the week. So, I usually hang up. On Wednesday, I called, and even the receptionist wouldn't answer the phone! It just rang and rang at the main number.

So, I'm doing the oil change myself. I perused the oil filter threads, but I decided for this oil change (time was of the essence), rather than go all over town or place orders with the Toyota dealer, I'd buy the filter from the dealer this time.

It cost $26!

I also picked up a half-dozen plug gaskets for $1.64 each.

Here are photos of the filter. I noticed the P/N did not match any of the ones mentioned on the other threads.
